Taran Adarsh rated the movie 4/5 and stated: "Anubhav Sinha makes a strong statement yet again. Thappad asks uncomfortable questions, his best work so far... Taapsee spectacular, even her silence speaks volumes. PavailGulati terrific... Must watch!" [12].

Pallabi Dey speaking for The Times of India rated the movie 4.5/5 and mentioned "Thappad is not just a film aimlessly ranting about borderline domestic violence; it brings to light the years of conditioning that a woman is subjected to by her own family and society that she lives in." [14].
